XRP vs. Dogecoin: Which Token Is More Likely to Reach $4 or $0.60 in 2025?
Since Donald Trump’s presidential election victory in early November, cryptocurrency prices have surged, and despite a recent increase in Treasury yields, many investors remain optimistic about the regulatory environment that Trump could usher in once he takes office. Among the biggest beneficiaries of this momentum are XRP (the third-most valuable cryptocurrency) and Dogecoin (the seventh-most valuable cryptocurrency). Since the election, XRP has skyrocketed more than 500% to $3.28, while Dogecoin has jumped 140% to $0.38 (as of January 16). But which token is more likely to reach $4 for XRP or $0.60 for Dogecoin by 2025?
Different Catalysts Ahead
While both XRP and Dogecoin stand to benefit from a prolonged crypto bull market, their paths may be quite different. XRP, in particular, has had to play catch-up due to the legal battle it has faced.
In 2020, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a lawsuit against Ripple, the company behind XRP, accusing it of selling XRP as an unregistered security back in 2013. The lawsuit has been closely watched by the crypto community, as it could determine the level of regulatory oversight the SEC has over cryptocurrencies. Many crypto advocates hope for lighter oversight and prefer being governed by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) instead. The case has created a cloud over XRP, but in 2023, a federal judge ruled in favor of Ripple. The SEC has since filed an appeal, but with Gary Gensler stepping down as SEC Chair when Trump takes office, many investors and analysts expect the new leadership to drop the lawsuit.
If the lawsuit is dropped, the door could open for spot XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which could significantly boost XRP’s adoption. The idea of a spot XRP ETF is gaining traction, with filings already submitted. The success of similar ETFs for Bitcoin and Ethereum in 2024 serves as a potential catalyst for XRP’s growth. Additionally, Ripple has introduced a stablecoin called RLUSD, which can be used on both the XRP ledger and Ethereum’s blockchain. As RLUSD gains adoption, XRP is likely to benefit as it acts as a bridge asset.
On the other hand, Dogecoin’s catalysts are less clear. Although there could be ETF applications for Dogecoin, they are less likely than for XRP. However, Dogecoin has demonstrated resilience, largely due to its devoted community, which often rallies around the token whenever figures like Elon Musk show support or when Bitcoin and crypto experience an upswing. Dogecoin has consistently outperformed Bitcoin since 2020.
Which Token Will Break Through?
Both XRP and Dogecoin have the potential to surpass $4 and $0.60, respectively, if the crypto market remains strong. These tokens have historically outperformed Bitcoin during bull markets and have underperformed during downturns. As inflation slows and Treasury yields decline, the crypto rally could gain more momentum in 2025.
However, XRP seems to have more obvious potential catalysts. If the SEC drops its lawsuit and spot XRP ETFs are approved, the token could surpass $4. XRP is already being used by financial institutions for cross-border payments, and the launch of RLUSD could drive more demand for the token. For these reasons, XRP could be the better bet for 2025. That being said, both tokens will remain volatile, so a smaller, speculative position in XRP might be appropriate for more risk-tolerant investors. At the moment, I’m not personally interested in Dogecoin.
